BREATHTAKING pictures show impressive sheet lightning formations across Worcestershire.
The sky across Worcester and Malvern was illuminated by horizontal bolts of lightning yesterday (Sunday) evening.
Residents across the county were greeted with thunder and lightning after the Met Office issued a weather warning for thunderstorms.
What is sheet lightning?
A spokesperson for the Royal Meteorological Society said: "Sheet Lightning is a term used to describe clouds illuminated by a lightning discharge where the actual lightning channel is either inside the clouds or below the horizon."
The yellow weather warning for thunderstorms was in place yesterday between noon and 8pm.
The Met Office has predicted a slightly wet start to the week with a chance of rain expected today (Monday) and tomorrow, which is set to clear to mostly cloudy and sunny spells for the rest of the week.
